EDITORIAL BREVITIES.

NORTHERN money and snti-Texas ora
tors, and Georgia bishops cannot dom
mate the free mind Of liberty loving
HtXrns.
The vote against the amendment Is
not vote for saloons or against saloons.
Ii is vote for constitutional liberty as
guaranteed the citizens of this state In
the federal constitution.
The feds, and "cOnfeds" are stand
| ing in the same ranks 10 this prohibition
fight and they are wearing the union
cOlOrs, "true blue"
MICHIGAN Is at rest, Florida is at
peace, and the palmy paragraphlst ia
like OthellO, "OcoupatiOnless." Senator
Jones has settled in New York for the
practice OF law.
MCGARIGLE has gone to Canada for the
summer months, he found it sultry In
Chicago and so skipped across the lakes
lie says he will return In three months.
The Chicago authorities are of the same
opinion. NIlly willy.
The fellows who lay the flattering
| JUNCTION TO their souls that the Grand
Army OF the Republic is going to pices,
because Of few Cleveland sore heads,
know mighty little about the situation.

round.
This is the last day In the afternoon.
Tomorrow opens a new day and q day
that Texas will mark with new white
stone, if the lovers of freedom and con-
stltutional rights discharge their duty
rs citizens.
Col. BOB SBORTY's tactics Of"masterly
inactivity" is OOnspicuously displayed 10
the council proceedings rs usual. The
city seems to be in bonds until all the
bonds are disposed OF and the money in
hand. No medicine for the patient IN
Ill the doctor is dead.
When San Antonio cannot see far
enough ahead of her nose to see it to her
interest TO permit the erection of gar
bage furnaces, on trial, free Of cost, in
order to test the benefits OF that method
OF sanitation, one naturally asks. Who
did sin, this city, or its municipal
parents, that 1t was born blind?
The liberties of citizens, the guaran-
tees of individual rights under the con-
stitutiOn, the sanCtity Of home from in
vssiOn and the premises of good citizens
from unnecessary search and seizure -
are all involved in this pending election.
Vote for Texas and liberty!
If you would vote as the revolution
airy sires fought, as the soldiers OF 1872
1914 fought, as the Texas patriots
fought, as men loving freedom and de-
string liberty have everywhere fought
II you vote thus-VOte against the prOhi-
bitiOn amendment.
PERSIA had her Salamis; George the
third had his 4th of July. l776; Mexico
had ner Dist of April, 1896; prohibition
must have her 4th OF August, 1857. The
trst three OF these dates are already his
rOric. Add August 4Ih to the red letter
days, marked with white stones, which
commemorate the liberties of nations
and OF states.
WORK for the Texas National is being
pushed to its limit. Special trains are
running daily to SaltillO carrying sup
plies for the new road when the work of
construction actively commences there
will be no let up until the breaks are all
supplied and continuous all rail rOu,e
from st. Louis to the City Of Mexico via
San Antonio is opened.
The anti-prohibitiOnists OF Texas have
imported no speakers. Their side OF
the campaign has been conducted by
such men as could be found at home.
The prohibition fight has been engineer
ed and Captained by Georgia bishops
and foreign speakers. Michigan and
Other northern states have been drawn
upon for the siniews of war. COntribu-
tiOns from a thousand meetings in the
north have poured into the treasury of
the prohibitions OF Texas to change the
organic law OF the state Texas will
vote to control here own affairs.
